U.S. treasure hunters say boat set to leave Spain
MIAMI (Reuters) - An American-owned ship that was boarded and forced into Spanish port last week by authorities who suspect it snatched a treasure worth millions from a sunken Spanish galleon has been cleared to leave Spain, its owners said on Tuesday.
In a statement from its headquarters in Tampa, Florida, Odyssey Marine Exploration said the ship, the Ocean Alert, had been cleared for departure on Saturday after an inspection in the Spanish port of Algeciras.
